Prabhupada, August 2, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm): “In New York I have seen. Three, four hours to go to work. And again three, four hours to come to home. And work there eight hours. Then what is value? He’s shattered. He has no other solace than wine, and he has no other culture. No family. Dog friend and television idea, that’s all. What his life? Every man has got a dog friend because he has no family. Men, women, and television, engagement, I have seen it, all this, in New York.
Hari-sauri: If they do go out, it’s just to go and get drunk.
Prabhupada: And still, our landlord in 26 Second Avenue, if there is anything wrong in the apartment, he would personally do it. He could spare money to call a worker. He was alone. I don’t think he had any dog, but he was always seeing the television, and when there was some complaint, he would come and work on it. He’s landlord. And so many tenant, there is complaint always. Old house. That house was not very good, very old house.”
Television Replaces God in Our Lives
by Cornelius B (for henrymakow.com)
Tremendous effort has been expended to perfect television and make it cheap and widely available. Why?
We know that television modifies the brain waves, affecting mainly the beta waves, which are the energetic support of the brain’s activities such as processes of thought, analysis and decision.
In the works of Emery and of Krugman, we find that once the TV set is on, the waves of the brain slow down until the alpha waves dominate the brain activity. The more the TV set stays on, the more the brain waves slow down (Jerry Mander, Four Arguments for the Elimination of the Television, NY, 1978).
Dr. Eric Peper and Dr. Thomas Mulholand came to the same conclusion. The left brain hemisphere is massively inhibited, thus reducing critical capacity ( i.e. a reasoned opinion on any matter especially involving a judgment of its value, truth, righteousness, beauty.) (Martin Large, Out of the Box, http://www.allianceforchildhood.org.uk/home/reports-documents/the-future-of-childhood/chapter-8/).
Thus, television is a “super-tool” for “mind grafts” and social engineering.
ORWELL
In Orwell’s “1984,” a TV screen dominates the center of every home and public place. With the TV screen, the “all seeing eye” of “Big Brother”controls thoughts and sentiments.
Television is no longer a means of entertainment, but an ideological weapon, for the manipulation of the consciousnesses. The citizens of this world created by “Big Brother”, spends most of his time with an omnipresent television. They go to sleep with the television, wake up with the television, and the daily life is programmed by “Big Brother”. This is a form of totalitarian governance, a form of intellectual dictatorship.
This is the consequence of the elimination of God from the daily life as spiritual essence and behavioral guide. A God inspired spirituality springs as the water springs from the underground, so from the depths of the spirituality springs the spiritual life of man, to nourish human society and keep it in touch with the natural order of things.
Once human society is cut off from this source, it is on the road to corruption, decadence and unavoidable death. Here is where “THEY” want to bring us and our children.
For what purpose? They believe they are “the Messiah” and they can replace God and take total possession of the whole earth and everything it contains. This pretension can be generated only by a sick corrupted and degenerated mind. They pretend even, as Nietzsche, one of their front men, pretended “Gott is tot” – God is dead.
GOD LIVES
Yes, indeed, God is dead in their spirits. But God is an indestructible spiritual force which fills the whole Universe. He represents the universal laws that a healthy spirit sees everywhere around us, in the macrocosm and the microcosm, with all the wonders and marvels, including the marvel of life.
For a social healthy life, there is just one solution: keep in touch with the Divinity in you, with God almighty, and let the fools deceive themselves until their total destruction. Their Craft is just madness in the eyes of God, and their fate is the fate of Sodom.
Stay away from their poisons, from their false prophets and ideologies, and teach your family the truth. Protect them from their paranoia and their fatal fate. (As a matter of fact, Nietzsche ended his life in total mental alienation while he was only 55-years-old).
Go and work for a healthy world, starting with your own spiritual, moral, and physical health. Don’t be passive, but active, just as Jesus was all his life.
A good example is when he turned over the tables of the money changers in the Temple, and chased them out with a whip. Don’t just wait for “miracles” and Divine intervention, or the intervention of someone else to make this world a better place. Change the world in a positive way using your own life as example.
Stay wise!
And don’t forget – “In the beginning was the Word”, then, spread the Word!
